"At Argot, the main selling point is the wine, which is not surprising considering this busy, stylish French restaurant is part of the Lincoln Park shop, Verve Wine. Stopping by for a glass or two at the bar and chatting with the friendly staff is always a good time, but feel free to move the fun to a table or banquette if you’re trying to hang and eat with a larger group. The food here is fine—expect dishes like a burger blanketed in red wine reduction or white fish in a crème fraîche sauce that both lean a bit rich and salty, but that’s nothing a little wine can’t wash out. If you’re inspired to pick up something on the way out, their library-esque retail section has floor-to-ceiling shelves full of all types of bottles. photo credit: Clayton Hauck" - John Ringor
